Boyles-1043 and Biles-259 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same person. She had 21 children with her husband William K. Murphy and the dates are the same on both profiles. The spelling of the last name should be Boyles.

I would say Biles is closer to the way the name is pronounced in Eastern, Kentucky. Boyles is probably the correct spelling.

Seems like the name is Boyles https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/53416719/matilda-ann-murphy

It all lines up with the name Boyles. Where did Biles come from? Is that an alternate spelling?
